The best knockoff Prime was that giant white Korean version of G2 Prime that's like 14 inches tall. You used to be able to find him on Ebay for about 70 bucks (he came with the trailer and everything- it's a huge box).

The_Doctor posted:Actually, I rarely go to the TRU. My most frequent run is the Walmart on College (I go to LSU, so it's right by me) and then the Walmart at Siegen. Usually at 2am or something. I'm at home in the UK right now, so I won't be getting to look for movie toys until mid-August. I'm waiting till then to pick up a Leader Prime. It's too expensive over here. The equivalent of $80. I never found the selection at the College one too hot. I swear, if there's something in particular you're looking for, go to the Walmart on O'Neal. Swear to god, you'll find it. I found Alternators Prime one weekend and Classics Jetfire the next. I'd been looking for Prime for months, and Jetfire for weeks. It's out of the way for me, I live closer to College, but if I'm looking for it and can't find it closer, that's where I'll go. When you get back, I'll keep an eye out for whatever you're looking for, though.

I was pretty sure I was doing something wrong, thanks. I'll give that a try later. Also, I get paid tomorrow, so here's hoping Toys R Us has Soundwaves at around 1 pm :fuckyou: I'll also swing by Target (I hope Super Target has it) and get G1 Starscream, hopefully now, maybe a bit later. And nice catch with the T-Shirt. Did you get it at Hot Topic? That's the only place I know of that has them. E: So, I went to Super Target and set my DS to "download play". I waited and it never found anything. So I asked the guy there about it. He tried to get me to buy the DS Browser. Yeah...I guess I'll just go to the regular Target tomorrow after getting my check.

So I'm working on my Alternators collection, and I was watching two different box versions of Prowl on ebay. One in the red box, and one in the fishbowl. They went from like, 20-40 bucks each, to 142 for the red box version, and 200 for the fishbowl version. I didn't realize he was so rare. I picked him up off superbeeds for 49.99. I feel bad for the guy who wins either of those.

I'm an LSU goon too, and the Walmart on college is always wiped out of everything. I live over on Brightside so College is a straight shot, but its always empty of the stuff I want and full of people. I'll go check out O'Neal when I get back up there. Do you go to LSU too? If so, whats your AIM?

College isn't so bad, I picked up Classics Rodimus there, but I know what you mean. Other people on here were talking about picking up the movie toys while I was still stateside, and I kept checking both of my stores and nothing.  I found Voyager Classics Prime and Megatron at the Walker Walmart at 4 in the morning on the way back from NOLA one time. I had dropped off a friend at his home (thus the long way round return) and stopped at the Walmart to get an energy drink to stay awake. And of course, Walmart means I have to stop at the toy aisle. I walked out having spent $42 I hadn't meant to. Worth every penny though.

Keldroc posted:Reminds me why I skipped G2 to begin with. Putting their names on them was always silly, I thought. Didn't like it when they started doing it on the Transmetals, either. MEGATRON RULEZ! new photos of payload, he looks pretty sweet but i'm not at all a fan of those generic drone heads. shockwave is the only dude bad enough to pull it off. and to whoever was asking about barricade, i really like him. he's actually one of the more movie-accurate toys. they're all pretty horribly off if you really look at them closely, which is understandable because to fit all the doodads and whizbangs they had on film into each one they'd have to be 18 inches tall and cost 500 dollars, but barricade is one of the closer ones. probably the weakest point is his arms are brickish towards the bottom. if a determined kitbasher went along and added about a thousand hinges to his car exterior parts, he'd be pretty spot-on. with some more paint apps i think he'd look downright awesome, but he's still very good. his vehicle mode is spectacular. it's small, but he's got wonderfully detailed paint apps (done WELL, i'm talking to you classics) and the plastic used even gives him a glossy, car-like finish. he fits together tightly and is very conducive to making his owner produce VROOM VROOM SCREEEE WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOooo noises. in any case, it's the best version out there for now, and what's tenbux to a transformer fanatic?

Xenomrph posted:When you say "regular scale", what do you mean, exactly? Leader-class Optimus is roughly "scaled" right with the other Autobots. Voyager-class Optimus (or Robo-Vision Optimus, the Target exclusive) is smaller, and costs half as much, and should be out now. Is he? I've never seen a regular Prime, even in the toy specialty shops around here.

Okay! Just came back from Wal-Mart. They had quite a few Rumbles but only 8 Ravages so I grabbed all of them. Here's the breakdown I have of who wanted what and who dibbed them first. 1. Sublime Delusions - Ravage & Rumble 1. Fezz - Ravage & Rumble 3. Rage - Ravage & Rumble 4. Asshaticus - Ravage CLAIMED 5. 404GoonNotFound - Ravage CLAIMED 6. UberKosh - Ravage & Rumble (you are in the UK right? i'll need to figure out shipping) 7. Corbet - Rumble So I need to pick up 5 Rumbles and I have 1 Ravage left (keeping one for myself). Each Alt costs $20 and I figure 1 will be $5 to ship (n the US) and $7-8 for 2 of them. So 1 Alt will be $26 shipped and 2 will be $48 shipped. If shipping is alot cheaper for some reason I'll refund the difference. So I just need you guys to confirm what you want so we can arrange payment. Either quote this here or PM me, either works.

Finally found a USB cable that works, so here's some shots of the Autobots outside the Arclight in Hollywood, taken on the 4th. First, we have '08 Bumblebee.   Behind him was Ironhide. Note that the velvet ropes are all the same size in these pictures. The poles are about 2 1/2 feet tall. Ironhide is really large.   Then Prime, flaming and proud of it.    And finally Ratchet, silently kicking rear end in the back.    Sorry about the large sized images, but goddammit, they deserve it.

Speaking of Barricade, not only is the Deluxe version totally worth getting, the Legends version isn't too shabby either. Even though he's tiny, he's only $5 and similar to the Deluxe version in transformation, pose and looks. I know I've mentioned him before, but the awesomeness of tiny Transformers is worth mentioning again. I'll post a few pics when I'm home of all the Legends guys I have so far.

I guess that's just because they're cheap and still pretty cool, a lot of parents must be buying them for their kids in bunches as opposed to getting the bigger and more expensive figures. Over here they also move at a pretty decent speed, but since there's not too much interest in TFs in my area I'm still able to find everything quite easily(Except for Voyager Ratchet and Blackout and Deluxe Bonecrusher, I want my heliscorpocopter of doom and my neon green Hummer damnit)

Legends picture time! First we've got the Autobots in vehicle mode, front and back:   And then they transform into robot mode.  Note that Jazz actually has hands this time around, while Prime's colorscheme is a weird inversion of his G1 style. Next up are the Decepticons, in vehicle mode, front and back:   And in robot mode:  They have tiny evil stares  You should be able to figure out how they transform from these pics too, and the instruction set is included on the card back. EDIT: Bonus size comparison picture:  Hot Prime on Prime action. As far as scale goes, Tinymus Prime is actually the smallest of all the Legends figures so far. Still, he's got quite a bit of sculpted detail matching his big brother as you can see. Smoke fucked around with this message at Jul 6, 2007 around 13:35 |

We got in the robot replicas at K-Mart yesterday. Looks like the first wave is Bumblebee, Barricade, and Megatron. They are about 6 inches tall and well sculpted. They each come with an interchangeable arm for thier respective weapons. Bumblebee has his arm cannon, Barricade has his wheel-blade, and Megs comes with his arm cannon that connects to both arms to look like they formed the gun. I got them all, they were $10.99 a piece. Strange they wouldn't release Prime as a first figure. Another strange thing is on the back of Megatron's packaging, the picture of the figure shows him with his helmet on! I don' know if this is a variant, or just an old proto poic they used, but it's strange. Also the case pack was: 3x Barricade 3X Bumblebee 2X Megatron
